Commercial uses of space and space tourism : legal and policy aspects

edited by Jan Wouters (Full Professor of International Law and International Organizations, Jean Monnet Chair ad personam EU and Global Governance and Director, Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies and Institute for International Law, KU Leuven, Belgium), Philip De Man (Postdoctoral Fellow, Research Foundation - Flanders and Lecturer in International and European Space Law and Senior Researcher, Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies, KU Leuven, Belgium), Rik Hansen (Financial Services and Markets Authority, Belgium)

"[This book] combines the perspectives of academics, policy makers and major industry players around three central themes: the international legal challenges posed by the dramatic changes to the spacefaring landscape; the corresponding legal and regulatory responses to these challenges at the national level; and topical questions of global space governance. Chapters cover emerging activities in commercial spacefaring, including space tourism and space transportation, and identify the regulatory issues that may arise in the absence of a clear boundary between airspace and outer space. By taking a pragmatic, inductive approach, the book aims to breathe new life into the discussion of the air-space boundary, while informing readers about the many exciting recent developments in commercial spacefaring."--
